Alright, so you wanna watch that LSU football, but you ain’t got no cable? Don’t you worry none, it ain’t as hard as milkin’ a cow with one hand. I’m gonna tell ya how to do it, simple and plain, just like I’m tellin’ ya how to make biscuits.
First off, you gotta figure out where them games are gonna be. See, some games are on what they call “regular” TV, like ABC, CBS, FOX, and even that NBC sometimes. You can watch them with a good ol’ antenna, the kind you stick on the roof or maybe in the attic. If you can get a clear picture, you’re golden for them games.

Now, a lot of them LSU games, they’re on special channels, like ESPN and that SEC Network. That’s where it gets a little tricky, but don’t you fret. You got options, more options than a chicken got feathers.
- Streaming Services: These are like fancy cable, but they come over the internet. You pay ’em a little bit each month, and you get a bunch of channels. Some good ones for watchin’ football are Fubo, YouTube TV, and Hulu with Live TV. They got all them channels you need, like ESPN and SEC Network, and you can watch ’em on your TV, your phone, or even that tablet thingy your grandkids are always playin’ with. Now, they all offer somethin’ called a “free trial,” which means you can watch for a week or so for free, just to see if you like it. But be careful, they gonna start chargin’ you after that free week, so you gotta remember to cancel if you don’t wanna keep it.
- ESPN App: If a game is on ESPN, you can sometimes watch it on their app. You gotta have the internet for this, though, and sometimes you gotta pay extra to watch certain games. It ain’t always free, but it’s worth lookin’ into if you don’t wanna pay for a whole bunch of channels you don’t watch.
- SEC Network App: Same thing with the SEC Network. They got their own app, and sometimes you can watch games on there. Again, you might need to pay a little extra, but it might be cheaper than gettin’ a whole cable package.
So, let’s say you wanna watch that big game against Texas AM this weekend. First thing you gotta do is find out what time it’s on and what channel it’s gonna be on. You can usually find that on the internet, or maybe your grandkids can look it up for ya. Once you know the channel, you can figure out which of them options I just told ya about is gonna work best for you.
Now, if you go with one of them streamin’ services, you gotta sign up and all that. It ain’t too hard, but you might need a little help from someone who knows about computers. They gonna ask for your email address and your credit card number, so make sure you have that ready. And remember, if you don’t wanna keep it, you gotta cancel before they start chargin’ you.
If you decide to use the ESPN app or the SEC Network app, you gotta download them to your phone or tablet, or maybe to your smart TV if you got one of them fancy things. Then you gotta sign in, and like I said, sometimes you gotta pay a little extra to watch the games.
But no matter which way you choose, watchin’ LSU football without cable is doable. It might take a little bit of figurin’ out, but it ain’t rocket science. And once you get it all set up, you can sit back, relax, and cheer on them Tigers, just like you was sittin’ in the stadium, but without havin’ to pay for that overpriced popcorn.

One last thing, make sure you got a good internet connection, especially if you’re gonna be streamin’ the games. Nothin’ worse than watchin’ a game and havin’ it freeze up right when they’re about to score a touchdown. So, check your internet speed before the game starts, and if it’s slow, you might need to get somethin’ faster. But that’s a whole ‘nother story for another day.
So there you have it, simple as pie. Now go on and enjoy that football game, and Geaux Tigers!
